THE   OLD    NORTH    STATE, 

SONG   AND   CHORUS. 
WORDS    by    HON.    WILLIAM    GASTON. 


1. 

Carolina !  Carolina  !  Heaven's  blessings  attend  her ! 
While  we  live  we  will  cherish,  protect  and  defend  her ; 
Though  the  scorner  may  sneer  at  and  witlings  defame  her, 
Our  hearts  swell  with  gladness  whenever  we  name  her. 

Chorus. 
Hurrah  !  Hurrah  !  the  Old  North  State  forever ! 
Hurrah!  Hurrah!  the  good  Old  North  State! 

2. 

Though  she  envies  not  others  their  merited  glory, 
Yet  her  name  stands  the  foremost  in  Liberty's  story ! 
Though  too  true  to  herself  e'er  to  crouch  to  oppression, 
None  e'er  yields  to  just  rule  more  loyal  submission. 

Chorus. 

3. 

Plain  and  artless  her  sons,  but  whose  doors  open  faster, 
To  the  knock  of  the  stranger,  or  tale  of  disaster? 
How  like  to  the  rudeness  of  their  native  mountains. 
Rich  ore  in  their  bosoms  and  life  in  their  fountains. 

Chorus. 

4. 
And  her  daughters,  the  queen  of  the  forest  resembling. 
So  graceful,  so  constant,  to  gentlest  breath  trembling, 
So  true  at  their  hearts  when  the  test  is  applied  them, 
How  blessed  each  day  as  we  spend  it  beside  them ! 

Chorus. 

5. 
Then  let  all  who  love  us,  love  the  land  that  we  live  in, 
(As  happy  a  region  as  this  side  of  Heaven), 
Where  Plenty  and  Freedom,  Love  and  Peace  smile  before  us, 
Raise  aloud,  raise  together,  the  heart-thrilling  chorus ! 
Hurrah !  Hurrah,  etc.
